LAW INTELLIGENCE—(This Day.) COURT OF DIVORCE. (Before the Judge Ordinary). SCHOLLAR V. SCHOLLAR. This was a petition presented by the wife for judicial separation on the ground of adultery. The parties were married in 1864, but in a few weeks after the respondent began to neglect his wife, and ulti• mately left her and formed an immoral intimacy with a female named Rodgers, in whose company he was fre quently seen, and under such circumstances no doubt could be entertained of the truth of the allegations of the petitioner. The Judge Ordinary granted a decree nisi, and directed tho child to remain in the custody of the petitioner. The question of alimony was postponed until the Court became acquainted with the means of the respondent. MEESOM V. MEESOM, This was a petition presented by the wife praying for a dissolution of marriage. The parties were married in 1858, and cohabited in the vicinity of Birmingham until the year, 1863, when the re spondent became addicted to habits of intoxication, and other circumstances occurred that induced the petitioner to seek the refuge of the Court.

EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE OF WILFUL DAMAGE AT THE TunxisH BATHS.—Mr. Edward Frampton, solicitor, of John-street, Bedford-row, was charged before Knox with wilfully breaking a pane of glass, of the value of 165., the property of Mr Roger Evans, of the Turkish Baths, Golden-square. Wm. Holmes, an attendant at the baths, said that on the previous evening, about a quarter to 9 o'clock, the defend. ant came in to have a bath. After he (witness) had been in the bath room attending upon some gentlemen, about a quarter of an hour, he heard a loud knock, and then the smash of a window. When he went to where the defend ant was—the hot air room—he found the defendant there .a.R n and a pane of glass smashed, the value of th e g 1 1 , 4 16s. The defendant said he would break 20 panes if they locked him in, but the &or was not locked. On the de fendant leaving the room, he put him through the bath, shampooed him, and "when he was cool" gave him into custody. Win. Childs, the beadle of Golden-square, said he was sent for to the baths, and on the defendant refusing to pay for the damages, he was given into his (witness's) custody The defendant said that he had been in the hot air room some time and could not open the door. He pushed it and pulled it, but could not get it open. He then shouted as loudly as he could and hammered against the beards. He then sat down and waited, but feeling faint and sick he thought he must resort to some other mode of getting out of his prison, so he broke the glass to put his hand through and by pulling the door open got out. In answer to Mr Knox, witness said it was a swing door. Mr Knox said the defendant had better pay for the damage, as it was quite certain he did it. At the same time he must s ,y the defendant had no right to be choked. A witness said the door went easily enough, and that the defendant had been there several times betore, and he did not believe he could have been sober or he would not have made such a-mistake. Mr Knox said he could not help suspecting that the de fendant had been dining somewhere. The defendant had been taken to the station, and had buffered the indignity of being brought to the court, but he had b rought it all upon himself. The defendant was then fined Is., and o r dered to p a y th e damage, or, in default, to be committed for fourteen days. The fine and amount of damage were at once paid. WESTMINSTER. EXTRAORDINARY ADVENTURES OF Two BOYS IN SEARCH OF A SElM—Edward Broad, aged 12, and Wm. Miller, aged 11 years, were charged with begging. They were brought before Mr Selfe the previous evening by Police• constable Skeats, 259 B, and the magistrate, after hearing the case, sent them with the constable to the workhouse, Mount-street, Grosvenor-square, directing him to let him know whether they were taken in. The Constable stated that in the course of the after noon of Friday he was on duty in Belgrave-square, when he saw the prisoners begging. He followed them, when he observed them go down the area of one of the houses. There they asked one of the female servants for some bread, which they received. He then took them to the station-house. The prisoners, who were very intelligent for their age, in answer to Mr Selfe, stated that they had come up to London in search of a ship, which they were told by a sailor they would be able to find in London. Broad stated that he had walked up to town from Oldham, where he had been deserted by his parent; and Miller in. formed the magistrate that be had walked from Manchester, having been turned out by his step-father. They met each other on the road, and begged their way. Mr Selfe—Where did you sleep on Thursday night? Broad replied . that they slept at Edgware workhouse, and were sent away with.3oz. of bread each. Mr Selfe—Have you had anything to eat since ? Broad—Not till we received the bread from the woman in Belgrave-square, your worship. Mr Selfe directed the constable to give them something to eat, and to take them to the workhouse, Mount-street. He also told him that should they not be admitted into the house he vas to get them a lodging, and report to him (t , , e magistrate) that day,—They were admitted. THAMES. LOOK AFTER YOUR BACK YARDS ,—Charlea Richardson, aged 24, and described as a labourer, of Wentworth street, Whitechapel, was brought up on remand charged with stealing sundry pieces of linen and some wearing apparel from the back yards of houses in Market-street, Poplar New Town. On the night of Friday the 3d instant the prisoner, an active fellow, entered the back yards of the houses of Nos. 3,5, and 10, Market street, and stole a white shirt and three pairs of stockings from the \ first, a boy's white shirt from the second, and some clothes from the third. Al: the articles were hanging on lines to dry. The yards or gar dens are only separated from each other by walls about tour feet high. On the night above named a man named George Buckle, who occupies the house No. 5, the last one entered, was called by his father, who said there was a thief in the yard. He went there and missed some clothes, and saw the prisoner climbing over the wall. Ho pursued him, and overtook him at a foot bridge 250 yards The prisoner dropped a shirt, which Buckle picket;, up.

LADVERTISEMENT.]—HoIIoway's Ointment and Pills.— Wronga ana their Remedies. —When the safe treatment of disease by these purifying preparations is so simple, and the good results so fully known, it s e ems a l most unnecessary to ask the ailing to give them a trial. The ointment is in fallible in curing skin diseases, healing ulcers, arresting inflammation, reducing enlargements, and removing almost all external maladies.

THE FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDENT AT EGEtA3I.- -Upon inquiring at Charing-cross Hospital Nye learn that Mr Esau Trigg, who it will be remembered was conveyed to the hospital on the night of the accident, died at half-past 1 o'clock yesterday morning. The unfortunate man went on very favourably from the time of his admis sion, under the care of Mr Canton, the senior surgeon, and Mesers Travers and Hughes, the house surgeons, until Thursday afternoon, when he became low and dull, and a change the worse gradually ensued. A t 11 o ' clock the evening for e nieg he began to sink rapidly, and although every means that medical skill and science could adopt were re • sorted to they had not any effect, as he died, as above stated, at halt-past 1 o'clock, from the shock to the system and the injuries he had received. Inf. - .. - rmation was immediately conveyed to the friends of the deceased in London, and also by telegraph to his widow at Brighton, who at once came London, and, on going to the hospital, was painfully over come at the sad loss that had befallen her. The inquest is fixed for Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock, MARKETS—This Day. COVENT GARDEN. Our market is well supplied with most descriptions 01 produce.

Indeed, rude is not the word to express the brutal way in which he shoved th e l adies about.

I send you their plaotographs. The school children whom the limes correctly represents as having beau beautifully dressed, were shamefully neglected. There they rhood patiently from 10 a.m. till half past 12 in the afternoon, wholly un noticed and uncared for, though an interesting feature in the bridal programme and nuptial group, and, so far as depended on the Orleans family, without even the slightest attention to their physical comforts. SHOCKING TRAGEDY IN SHEFFIELD.—Great excitement was caused in one of the populous districts of the town yesterday morning, in consequence of a saw grinder named Myers having first brutally murdered his wife and then cut his own throat.

JOE COBURN AND JEM MACE—THE MATCH MADE. According to agreement, Jem Mace, accompanied by Mr Abrahams, his backer, met Joe Coburn and Cusack, at our office, on Friday, June 10, for the purpose of settling the knotty points which last week prevented their coming together, and we are glad to say, although matters looked stormy at the commencement, the conference terminated in an amicable and satisfactory manner. The question of the amount to be fought for was first re opened, and Coburn at first offered to fight for £3OO a side even, but finally agreed to go on upon the terms of the original challenge, viz , for £5OO a side, Mace giving him £lOO at the last deposit for expenses. Then rose the point as to a referee. At start ing, Coburn would hear of nothing but choosing that official on the day, while Mace wished to delegate the power of selectirn to us, or else to appoint a meeting a week before fighting to select him. By degrees, however, Jem, who seemed to relish his job, gave way, and Coburn making one step to meet him, ti.) , agreed to meet either personally or by deputy the day before the fight, and choose a referee. The place of fighting was the'last point of dispute, but was got over without difficalty, it being arranged that a meeting should take place 10 days before the battle, when, if no agreement can be made, the choice of place is to be tossed for. The following articles will put our readers in posses sion of all the arrangements that have been Ma de : Articles of agreement entered into this 10th day of June, 1861, between James Mace, of London, and Joseph Coburn, of New York. " The said James Mace agrees to fight the said Joseph Coburn a fair stand-up fight, according to the Rules of the Ring of the Pugilistic Benevolent Association ; the fight to come off on Tuesday, October 4, above 20 and under 100 miles from Dublin, for £5OO a side. The actual place to be mutually agreed on, or tossed for, on Sept. 22. Coburn to receive from Jem Mace the sum of £lOO for expenses when the whole of the money is to be made good. The referee to be chosen the day before fighting. In case of magisterial or other interference the referee to name the next time and place. The Editor of Bells Life in London to be the final stakeholder. In pursuance of this agreement £5O a side is now staked, and the remainder shall be deposited in sums of £5O a side until the last, which shall be made £lOO a side, at a house to be named by Mace. The next deposit of £5O a side shall be wade at 'Nat .I.Asugutuu - e, uue mare, Uppc St. Martin's-lane, on Tuesday, June 21; and the remainder of the money by six fortnightly instalments of £5O each, on days to be named in time for insertion in .Bell's Life of the previous Saturdays. The expenses of the ropes and stakes to le mutually divided. The men to be in the ring between 12 and one o'clock. ~ In pursuance of this agreement we hereunto attach our names. "JAMES MACH. "JOSEPH COBURN." This document being duly signed and witnessed, the men shook hands cordially, and took their departure, Coburn to Manchester, from whence he will doubtless make other starring excursions, and Mace to his tura tl routine in the sparring world. We shall not fail to keep our readers "fly" to the various moves of the belligerents, which will doubtless be watched with eager interest. Coburn informs us he is 29 years of age, having been born July 20, 1835, in the county Armagh. Mace requests us to state that, although born at Beeston, in Norfolk, he, too, is of Irish descent on his mother's side, so that, alth afgh many ren sationists will doubtless talk of the match as " interna tional," it is realty nothing of the kind, both men being actually subjects of the British Crown. Thirty-three Persons Poisoned at Bir mingham, By order of the London and North Western Railway Company, Messrs. Ludlow and Daniell, auctioneers, New street, were engaged on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednes day, in selling by auction, at the Curzon-street goods eta. lion, a large quantity of unclaimed goods, accumulated at the station during the past 12 months or more. Amongst these unclaimed goods were three or four sacks of a poison ous nut called jatropha nuts—sweet and pleasant to the taste, but poisonous. They are useful in some branch of in dustry —we believe an uil is extracted from them. These nuts were allowed to be scattered about the floor, and yes terday some boys employed in the sheeting department ad joining the place in which the sale was carried on obtained access to them and carried quantities of them home in their pockets. These boys ate the nuts themselves, and treated their friends with them, and the consequence was that above 30 persons were taken so ill that they were brought to the General Hospital yesterday, some of them quite in sensible. The scene in the surgery as so many persons suf fering from poison presented themselves at once for treat ment may be more easily imagined than described. Dr Russell, Dr Anderson, and the whole medical staff of the hospital were engaged in administering emetics and such other remedies as were deemed expedient. Some of the su'- ferers had eaten so freely of the nuts, and were consequently so much affected by them, that fears were entertained for their lives, but vi e are glad to be able to state that it is now considered they are all out of danger; 20 of those who were most ill were put to bed in the hospital, the others were discharged after the proper remedies had been administered to them and they had received advice for their own guid ance afterwards. When there was time for making leisurely inquiries it was ascertained that the boys and the persons whom they treated had the nuts and were eating them from time to time between 12 and 1 o'clock. Some of them ate only three or four when they were taken ill, others experi enced no ill effects till they had eaten two handfuls. The first symptom was vomiting, accompanied by some, but not much pain in the region of the stomach. This came on in two hours or more after the nuts had been swallowed; they were eaten between 12 and 2, and it was a quarter after 4 when the patients were brought to the hospital. Purging and depression were the next symptoms. This applies to an adult who had eaten only four. The boys who ate large quantities became drowsy in half an hour afterwards; their pupils were dilated, they became quite pale, and they suf fered from great depression. The total number treated at the hospital up to last night was 33. Several of the patients were then still in a critical condition, but it was hoped that they would recover during the night.—Birminghon Gazette. Serious Accident on the Midland Railway, A serious accident, by which about 30 persons were in jured, occurrel on the Midland Railway, at the Lawley street station, Birmingham, at about half-past 9 o'clock yesterday morning. The space in front of the Lawley-street station is an intricate mass of shunting ground, to which the Derby (Midland), the Worcester and Gloucester, or West Midland, the Grand Junction (going to Aston and Walsall), and the London and North-Western lines all con verge. All the trains stop at the platform at that station, that the tickets of the passengers may be collected there. Yesterday morning a passengertrain was despatched as usual from Derby at 7 o'clock. It was due at Law ley-street at 20 minutes after 9 o'clock, and it arrived in a few minutes after that hour. At the same time a Derby goods train was mak ing its way over the shunting ground to leave its waggons in the London and North-Western goods station, at Curzon street. The goods train, instead of being sent in its right direction, was accidentally shunted on to the Derby line just as the passenger train came up. The engine of the passen gcr train struck the tender of the goods train, but not very violently, as neither of the trains was going at a great speed. The shock to the passenger train, however, was so great that the passengers were thrown from their seats in the car riages, and more than 30 of them were more pr less hurt, many of them severely, but none of them dangeroi:sly. A large number of business and professional men, coming :I'm their suburban or country houses to Birmingham for the day, were in the train. Amongst them was Mr Standbridge, the town clerk, who received a severe shock, and several contusions about the head and face. Other gentlemen, about 30 in number, had similar injuries inflicted on them. Fortunately there was no fatal accident. Neither the engine nor the carriages were at all seriously injured. The poini sman, through whose mistake the acci dent occurred, has an excellent character as a steady, trust worthy, and experienced man. His name is Vines. He has been employed as pointeman in his present position for seven years. What caused him to make the blunder is not very clearly ascertainable. It is suggested that he was cleaning the machinery, and was taken by surprise by the trains coming up, • FIRE IN DRURY-LANE.—Last night a fire broke out in the premises belonging to Mr. Robert Smee, a cabinetmaker and japanner, No. 5, Parker street, Drury lane. Owing to the inflammable nature of the stock in trade the flames extended with more than usual rapidity, and in less than half an hour the whole of the six floors presented one tremendous sheet of flame. The Royal Society's fire-escapes, with the engines of the parish and several of the London brigade, with two of Shand and Mason's land steamers from Chandos-street and Watling street, promptly attended, and a bountiful supply of water having been procured, the whole of the engines were set to work. Owing to the indefatigable exertions of the firemen, and the judicious direc tions given, the fire was entirely extinguished by midnight; but, judging from external appearances, Mr. Smee's property must bo entirely or nearly destroyed. Several of the adjoining houses are also severely damaged by water, &c. The origin of the fire is unknown. Mr. Smee informed the reporter that two of his men were at work in the factory at the time, and that they knew nothing of the disaster until one of the workshops was in flames. Fortunately the principal sufferer was insured in the Phoenix Fire Office. GENERAL GARIBALDL—Tha Mayor of South ampton (Mr G. S. Brinton) has received a letter from the illustrious Italian patriot, of which the following is a copy : —" Caprera, June I, 1861.—My dear Sir,—l will never forget the time I stayed in your house, where I was re ceived so kindly by your family, and also your amiable company on my entry into the great metropolis. Please salute the people of Southampton—precursor of my fortu nate visit to free England—tor me, and them for the way in which they received me. Believe me, 1 will always feel for you and for your family the deepest gratitude and affection,—Yours truly, la, GA.RIBALpt, Failure of the Bankruptcy Law Reforms (From the Law Times of to-day.) Lord Westbury possesses the great virtue, cha racteristic of minds conscious of their own capacities of candour to confess a mistake and a willingness to learn what may be said against its own views, and willingness to be convinced. Creditably ambitious to achieve a reputation as a Law Reformer, he has laboured zealously to link his name with change s for which much was premised, but which have proved in practice to be unproductive of the antici pated advantHgee, white they have wrought certain mischiefs. The reform of the Bankruptcy Law is found to be no reform at all; on the contrary, the law is in a state far worse now than when it was sought to be improved. The Transfer of Land Act es yet has wrought but a fraction of the ser vices that were prophesied of it. Lord Westbury frankly confesses the failure of the Bankruptcy Law Amendment Act, and but for the appoint ment of the select committee of the House of Commons, would doubtless have tried to remedy some of its most patent defects. It will be seen by an extract from the report of an interview with a deputation, which appears in mother column, that he is willing to deal with this latest law reform in the same liberal spirit of concession to the objec tions of the trading community, echoing those which had been previously published by the lawyers. Himself proposes to abandon the project for confis cating debts under £2O if not sued for within one year. He has adopted that which we ventured to suggest as the fair compromise between the existing inconvenience of six years and the threatened ruin of the tradesman by reducing the term to a twelve month. Having fixed upon three years, we trust that he will not eonfine its operation to debts under £2O, but extend it to all simple contract debts. Three years is quite long enough for the voluntary keeping alive of a claim, If the creditor cannot pay in tha e:;••• . '1 . •”`t 1;) '. 1 3 7 to tIfIV at all, and even it were not so, there is no reason why the whole community should be compelled to keep their bills and receipts and be subjected to possible harass, for the sake of a few creditors who choose to give ex orbitant credit. . On the .other objectionable provi sions of the bill Lord Westbury expressed himself with equal candour. He desired to receive the sug gestions of the traders; he was by no means wedded to his particular plan ; he was willing to make any alterations that would accomplish the object. This is as satisfactory to the public and the profession as it is creditable to the sound judgment of Lord West bury. The bill contains much that is to be com mended and which receives universal approval. Not the least meritorious is the provision which so inge niously discourages those speculative actions so often denounced by the Law Times, by requiring the plain tiff in the Superior Courts to give security for costs. The proposed equity jurisdiction is likewise worthy of all praise. Possibly it might be more prudent to exclude some of the suggested jurisdictions at first, until the capacity of the County Courts to deal with them satisfactorily shall be proved by experience, and the judges and officers shall have mastered the new law they will be called upon to administer; but the outline of the scheme is ex cellent. If to these be added a limitation of imprisonment to once for the same debt, and the reduction of the Statute of Limitations to three years for all simple contract debts, subject of course to the same exceptions as at present recognised, Lord Westbury will have won the reputa tion not merely of desiring and designing law reforms, bat of accomplishing them. We despair of receiving a good bankruptcy law from his hands, for he will continue, we fear, to base it upon a false foundation, and unless there is a solid base there can bo no firm structure. No law of bankruptcy can be successful that does not take for the principle of its entire construction that not to pay a debt is prima facic a wrong, for which some penalty is due, and which therefore throws upon the insolvent the burden of proof that he has become such by reason of unavoidable misfortune, and not through nny fault of his own. In all cases he should be bound to prove substantively, first, that when he contracted the debts from which he seeks relief he had just grounds for believing that he should be enabled to pay them ; and, secondly, he should be required to prove the particular mis fortunes that afterwards prevented biro from doing as he had then reasonably expected to be able to do. A debt contracted without such reasonable ex pectations of payment is only another and safer form of robbery, and should be punished accordingly. _ _ A debt honestly incurred, but of which the debtor has deprived himself of the means of pay ment by some subsequent folly, should be punished in proportion to the character of that folly. Only the debtor whose debts were fairly incurred, but of which unavoidable misfortune has prevented ,he payment, is entitled to pity, to forgiveness, and :o favour. On these principles it would be easy to construct a good law of bankruptcy ; on no other could a law be framed that will not be mischievous—morally, socially, and commercially. The World's Highway. -a--- - " A Templar," in a letter to the Times, writes : Allow me to call your attention to the disgusting state of Fleet-street and the Strand about 1 a.m. Some virtuous person—who no doubt is also beau tiful, inasmuch as he is always in bed by 10 o'clock, and so never misses his beauty-sleep—will say, " What business have you in Fleet-street and the Strand at 1 a.m. ?" IVell, that is just what I have. Business leads me along Fleet. street and the Strand six nights out of the seven at hours varying from 1 to 3 a.m., and I must say I wish many of these " virtuous and beautiful" people were compelled sometimes to take the same walk. They would then see troops of women of the vilest and lowest class, who persist in thrusting their foul companionship on every passer-by. If their advances are repelled, they cover the unlucky object of their attention with the filthiest abuse. " Well," cries some rate payer, " where are the police ?" To this very natural question, Echo, in the Strand, at least, at 1 a.m., generally answers " Where?" Take my own case last night, for instance; at a quarter past 1 I was accosted by one of these women just n ,Lie west side of Temple-bar. I told her to go about he: business, and not to speak to people Who did not wishto speak to her. She then follo w e d me along the S t. -and abusing and reviling me in Between Temple-bar and the Savoy I way. avoy I counted 28 women of 1, 0r order, all plying the same disgusting trade, but no; a single policeman. At the corner of Savoy-street 1 met a constable, whom I requested to go back with mk: that I might introduce him to my persecutor. His n omber was F 38, and a very civil, well-spoken young fe:.. l owt am bound to say, he was. He has my best wish - 's that he may soon bean inspector. We opeedily found the woman, who had halted at the corner of Welling ton-street—that being, I presume, the end. of her " walk." Having pointed her out to F 38, 1 left them, and I sincerely hope that I may not have to give her into custody again. Now, 1 have no wish to speak ill of the police, who in the Strand at night arc far too few to cope with this evil , and whom I have, with few exceptions, found extremely well behaved ; nor do I desire to be too hard on this unfortunate class of women; but I am sure that London streets at night have lately become much worse in the nuisance to which I refer than they used to be, and I think the authorities might do more to protect those who are compelled to pass through great thoroug hfares than is now the case. ACCIDENT TO VISCOUNT CLlFDEN.—Yesterday afternoon, shortly after 5 o'clock, Viscount Ciifden was leaving his residence at Roehainpton in his brougham and pair, when one of the horses shied, which alarmed the other horse, and both started off at an uncontrollable pace. Lord Clifden, seeing the danger, opened the door ot the carr i a ge, and had the p resence of mind CO jump ut The driver lost all command over the horses, and they pursued their course until they came to a dyke on Wimbledon common, where the brougham was upset, the coachman was thrown off, and unfortunately his left leg was broken. O n e of the high -s p irited horses a lso broke its leg,and had to be shot. Lor d Clifden, who se health is far 7rom satis factory, showed much kindness and presence of mind to the injured coachman, to whom no blame could be imputed, A Charming Tribute to Ernest's Genius, (From the Queen.) Ernest, the violinist, is universally liked and respected as a man, and honoured everywhere as a' first rate professor. His reputation is European, and he was the first player who broke down the prestige of Paganini ; for it w as a long time after the Genoese fiddler had disappeared from public life that anything like faith could be at tached to his successors. In 1837, Ernest was playing at a concert in Toulouse, and there happened by mere chance to be present a roving "special correspondent," on his way to Spain, who was struck with the extraordinary execu tion of the young German virtuoso, and who immediately wrote off his impressions to his London morning paper, and for the first time here the name of Ernst became known When ho arrived in this country tnere was full confirmation of the enthusiasti c euloglu in of the correspondent, and it required but a short stay tor Ernst to take his stand as one of the leading violinists of any ace. Indeed, in one specie ality, Ernst has been unapproacbaLle—in poetry and passion he has never been excelled ; in an adagio Ernst seemed a lways inspired ; he extracted such tones from hie vio lin as rendered it like Niobe, all tears, and it may be therefore readily assumed that his organisation was of the most sensitive kind, that his sensibility was acute, if in th e r i ght cue he and his susceptibility, like that of a ll truly superior artists, was great. With such a natu re and tempera ment, his playing was uncertain, or, as the F renc h would N w a c r e d el r o l tto one remark a bl e occa sion—it sublime. r w n a a s /ae joint eSt benefit remember c at the Hanover-square Rooms—something occurred to dis turb the nervous system of Ernst, and he fell on the gr oun d in the artists' room in a kind of epileptic fit. He could not play, of course. The concert was financially productive, but such was the honourable sensitiveness of Ernst that h e handed over his share of profits, amounting to nearly £9O, to the Royal Society of Musicians. For some years he has now been a severe sufferer, and he has wandered about from country to country seeking a restoration of his shattered health, In his rambles abroad he meets with Sir E. Bulwer Lytton, who, appreciating the intellectual quali ties of the invalid artist, with kindred sympathies invited him to his country seat, and has been indefatigable in secur ing for Ernst the best medical advice of this country. The progress to a cure has been slow, but there is yet hope as to a restoration. Did the immense auditory in the St. e.,„, „ea new nn the 6th, at the 153 d of the Marilee, Popu lar Concerts, notice the Barg screen, looking to the left of the orchestra ? Were they aware that whilst they were listening with breathless attention to the impassioned strains of the " Elegie" of Ernst, as poured forth by Joe. chim— that whilst the soul of the composer was in their heart of hearts—the body of the man was extended on couch behind that sombre screen, is suffering drinking in the sounds of his own inspiration, and gasping perhaps with agony at the notion that Le was there helpless and useless; but, thank Heaven, not alone, for there were the friends of his youth around him. There was, above all, a devoted wife near him, and there was the Hite of distin guished professors, native and foreign, listening with in,. tense interest to his exquisite creations.
